One of the most memorable sci-fi/horrors films from this decade.

Rating: 8/10 (2 July 2005)

A young man (Cillian Murphy), who woke up in a hospital bed alone. Which he's been in a Coma for a month. That young man, Since he's awake. He finds that he is all alone in London and he's slowly finding out there was an Epidemic happen, when he was in a Coma. When it's turns night, strange people that come out of dark and they prey on Humans. These strange people have been infected by a disease that came form an animal, a man made virus that makes people go absolutely mad. While the young man is seeking for help, he finds himself with a group of survivors (Noamie Harris, Megan Burns & Brandon Gleeson). Which they would do anything for survival.
Directed by Danny Boyle (A Life Less Ordinary, Shallow Grave, Transpotting) made a Visionary, Creepy, Science Fiction/Horror film that was shot in Digital Video. Which gives the film an gritty atmosphere. The picture has an somewhat familiar story but the film is Vivid. Boyle's seems to be giving tribute to films like "The Crazies", "The Omega Man" and "Day of the Dead". This movie ended up being a Box Office Hit and it was well received by the Critics. The picture did so well in fact, it was briefly re-released with the bleaker original ending.
Since the film's Visual Style is dark and moody. DVD has an grainy anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an strong-Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has an insightful commentary track by the director and Screenwriter:Alex Garland (The Beach), Deleted Scenes with/without Commentary by the filmmakers, three alternative endings and more. One of the most fascinating films of 2003. Do not miss this one. (*** ½/*****).
